For over 15 years, the soulful melodies of the saxophone have been my musical voice. My journey began at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I delved into Jazz Studies, honing my skills and deepening my understanding of this captivating genre. In addition to playing, I have dedicated 5 years to private teaching, sharing my passion and knowledge with eager learners. Through the years, I've had the privilege to play and arrange music for an array of incredible artists including Becca Stevens, Alexa Tarentino, Camille Thurman, The Four Tops, and Reliably Bad. My saxophone has resonated in harmony with various orchestras, leaving a musical imprint wherever I go.

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you shared with us in Record Production this semester. I genuinely feel like this class changed the way I listen to and understand music. Before this class, I would mostly just listen to songs as a listener, but now I catch myself noticing production choices, vocal layers, effects, textures, and so many small details that I never paid attention to before. I feel like my ear for music developed so much, and that honestly means a lot to me as someone who wants to keep growing as an artist.    I also really appreciated the way you taught the class and shared your knowledge with us. It made the whole process feel exciting and inspiring instead of intimidating, and it pushed me to want to keep creating and learning more outside of school.
